The problem here is that some organizations have a security policy where hard drives are not allowed to leave the property. That means they can't purchase these laptops since the SSD is soldered to the board.
This is legally wrong. According to the IRS, if you, for example, receive something as a gift, you're supposed to declare that as "income", and pay taxes on it based on its fair market value, even if you don't actually sell it.
You do not have to declare a gift as income unless it's over the reporting amount of $16,000 (for 2016).
They don't check ID at the polls (in states where (D) want those votes), and considering the President of the United States is the most important vote that common folk are privy to, it's going to experience enormous attempted voter fraud. Illegal immigrants always turn out in DROVES to vote for whomever will go lax on immigration for the next 4 years.
How do they register to vote without a State id card? Or are you in a state where they issue driver's licenses to illegals and they register to vote using that?
I don't have to show identification at my polling place, but they do ask my name and address and then compare my signature to the one on my registration signature card.
The last thing they want to do is something that could reveal their lack of status.
I really don't know how you came to believe this, but where I live the illegal immigrants have no fear of being deported. One of our Senators even brought them to Congress.
You can get a Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition with a 3200x1800 display (276 dpi), Intel HD graphics, and i7-7500U with 16 GB of DDR3 @ 1866MHz and a 512 GB PCIE SSD for $1800 and up. It ships with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and most of the devices should be supported under *BSD as well.
what if any qualifications does a banking institution have that define it as a cogent source for software?
Seriously? You obviously haven't worked for any financial institutions, they employ lots of techies to run their computer systems. They are plenty capable of writing quality software.
The big issue I have with rent vs. buy is the required down payment. Say that I want to put 20% down on a $250,000 dollar house, that's $50,000. Or I could rent a place for $1,200 a month and have $50,000 on hand for emergencies (or invested to whatever degree of risk I'm willing to take on). If I lose my job while renting and have to live off of savings, I'll be able to afford 3 years of rent (or more if I move to a cheaper rental). If I lose my job while I'm paying the mortgage off (and not having replenished my savings), I'm screwed and get foreclosed on.
Then you have to worry about maintenance, fees and taxes. If you live in area where the government is not fiscally responsible, you could find your taxes skyrocketing and then be stuck in a house you can't sell.
That all depends. I'm the sole DevOps guy at a startup which means I'm basically on-call 24/7. The good news is that I'm the guy that setup all of the systems including the alerting/monitoring, so if something does go wrong it's either my fault or one of our vendor's.
24/7 on-call supporting someone else's mess is an entirely other matter. That can really suck.
You can lock my phone up, but I can still record audio with my smartwatch. You can also purchase eyeglasses with a hidden camera if you want to take pictures or video. I don't think this solution is going to work for very long as more and more wearables come to market.
There's plenty of X10 and Zigbee based products out there that are easy to use. I have Insteon's automation controller and their product line is pretty complete. Dimmer and on/off switches and outlets, open/close sensors, IP cameras, thermostat, water sensor, motion detectors, keypads, remotes, lightbulbs, etc. They even have wire-in modules if you want to build something more complicated.
Some of their devices have to be installed behind wall plates, but others like the on/off and dimmer modules are standalone and go between the plug and wall outlet. Even if you have to replace a wall switch, it doesn't take more than 15 minutes of effort and can make a big difference. It's really nice to have a small, four-button remote that you can use to control the lights in your home, or turn on a box fan in another room.
A friend of mine talks to his phone when sending text messages. I must admit that it's much more efficient than trying to type on a tiny soft-keyboard.
Officer john wears the camera one week and gets 3 complaints. Next week he doesn't wear the camera and gets 30 complaints. It's safe to infer he behaves like an asshole when off-camera, so, to counter that, he is NOT an asshole even when not wearing the camera.
An alternate explanation would be that people don't make as many false complaints when there's video evidence available.
Take a look at the *BSD people. The team maintaining OpenBSD is probably smaller than the SystemD team, yet they manage to maintain a whole operating system.
That's because UNIX is engineered and Linux is hacked!
Dear God do I hate that phrase. It makes me suspicious that there's some reason it shouldn't taste good. "How is everything" is such a better way to pose the question.

Why don't affected organizations simply publish a host file for people to use until DNS service has been restored?

The trick is to not work for anyone large enough to have an HR department. Find a small company where the people that do the work make the decisions.

Where do you buy your purified water? In my area it runs about $0.89 per gallon and it's at room temperature.
What people are afraid of is him becoming President and having his finger on foreign policy (and the nuclear button).
People keep saying that, but it doesn't make any sense when you look at what Hillary actually did while Secretary of State.
Which candidate helped to destablize Libya and then ran a weapons program supplying Al-Qaeda and ISIS affiliated fighters in Syria?
Which candidate released a false narrative about why one of our embassies was attacked instead of telling the American public the truth?
Which candidate thinks Russia is our enemy and wants to start a war with them?
Which candidate is in favor of overthrowing the democratically elected leader of a sovereign nation, a nation that is not at war with us?
Which candidate wanted to assassinate a foreign national because they were part of an organization leaking material harmful to the DNC?
Which candidate is proud of the fact that they helped companies based in India get work in the United States displacing American workers?
Which candidate is in favor of dissolving our Nation's borders?
Hillary's foreign policy has been and will be a total disaster.

You don't really believe the White House would be doing the same if it were the GOP that were breached, do you?
the larger seats and leg room and lack of annoying kids is a huge draw card.
I call that my living room. I can also smoke if I want and no one calls the cops if my girlfriend gives me a bj during the show.

Take a look at their products.
The issue is not how fast the battery can be charged, the issue is that I can't remove it and be sure the phone is powered down.

I've still got pretty well everything on linux still on RHEL6/CentOS6 because the vendors of an application used in the place don't trust systemd yet.
Rather than guessing, why not try an install on Linux Server 7 and see what happens?
I'm betting you're running csh or a derivative. Prepend "set" to your command and it will work.

How's that tasting for ya?

I'm wondering the same thing. Who are these people that want to talk to devices? Even Apple's new AirPods require you to control them with speech.
I can type and read much faster than I can speak/listen, plus I'm not too excited about always-on microphones that are connected to the Internet.
